Equity in Progress: Development of Health Equity Curricula in Three Psychiatry Residency Programs
Understanding Homelessness: A Call to Action and Curriculum Framework for Psychiatry Residencies
Since 2016, our CGP residents and faculty, with generous support from the UCLA Psychiatry Residency Program, have collaborated on the development of a series of lectures in public psychiatry and global mental health. These classes are integrated into the core educational series for all UCLA residents. Starting with a handful of lectures and evening events in 2017, this curriculum has evolved to 45 hours of classes (as of 2021) in 5 modules, which are organized around foundational topics and local public health crises.
